Chest, Biceps and Packing Up

One thing that is a challenge with going away for thirty days is getting one's life in order. Bills paid, house cleaned, and the dog handled for a month. Out of the thirty days I will be totally off the grid out of contact for at least three weeks of it. Then there is packing everything that you THINK you might need in the next month. Missing your family and dog is not that fun.

Despite the challenges of leaving, there are quite a few bonuses: 1) Life is broken down to its simplest form: Food, water, shelter and community. We are completely "unplugged". 2) The air is clear and the water is clean. 3) We are active everyday traveling and setting up a new camp. 4) We learn. Everyday we problem solve challenges that may arise as an expedition and the students we work with take turns leading the group. 5) We have a whole lot of fun and laugh a lot!

Today's quote is from Edmund Hillary:

"When you're in a difficult or dangerous situation, or you're depressed about the chances of success, someone who can make you laugh eases the tension."
